49ers' Trent Williams: Continues holdout
Rotowire
Williams plans to continue his holdout until his contract is addressed, putting his Week 1 availability into question, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Williams has accrued non-rescindable $50,000 fines for each missed day of training camp. Plus, he'll be docked a game check for each of the three preseason contests his holdout covered. He presumably expects to make up that money and then some upon reaching an agreement with the 49ers, after fellow offensive tackles Tristan Wirfs and Penei Sewell reached $28 million per year on their respective contracts this offseason. Williams has three years remaining on a six-year, $138 million contract ($23m AAV) and is scheduled for a $20.5 million base salary in 2024 and $22.5 million in 2025.

49ers' Trent Williams: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (groin) was deemed a limited participant in Wednesday's practice walk-through.
Though Williams' designation as limited is an estimation because the 49ers held a walk-through Wednesday, it nonetheless qualifies as positive news after he suffered a groin injury that required an MRI on Monday versus Baltimore. The left tackle's practice level over the remaining two days of Week 17 prep should give further clarity to his status moving forward, but it appears for now that he's dodged a serious injury. It goes without saying that San Francisco would be meaningfully impacted if Williams were to miss any time given that he is considered one of the NFL's top offensive linemen.
